Lil Nas X’s father, Robert Stafford, shared details of his son’s dramatic “breakdown” and arrested him for emotional new comments.
“I went to visit him in prison, and as soon as I walked through that door I couldn’t do anything but cry,” Stafford told the Sunday Times in an interview published Friday.
“To see my boy on the other side of that glass. We shed tears for a minute,” he continued.
Stafford recalled his son 26, “What you’re going through is normal. We all break down from time to time, but the difference is that your differences unfold in the public eye.”
He also recalled the rapper, Montero Lamar Hill, expressing regret over the incident that took place in Los Angeles on August 21.
“When I went to the visit, he asked me to say, ‘I told him I’m sorry I saw them see me that way,'” he continued. “Even at that moment he was apologizing to people for what he was going through.”
The rapper representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment on page 6.
The Atlanta-born hitmaker sang Ventura Boulevard last Thursday, camera dance and singing on footage first acquired by TMZ.
In one bystander clip, the Grammy Award winner wore nothing but white underwear and white cowboy boots. Hill reportedly told fans he was on the way to the party before placing a traffic cone on his head.
In the other, he sang Nicki Minaj lyrics from Kanye West’s 2010 hit “Monster,” but stripped nothing.
A spokesperson told Page 6 at the time that the witness informed Los Angeles police of the sightings. Law enforcement arrived at the scene around 5:50am local time. The rapper then claimed he “claimed” the officer when he tried to restrain him.
He was later “detained” and “taken to a local hospital due to an overdose.”
Sources told NBC News that the “baby industry” artist punched police officers twice in the face during the encounter, leading to the arrest of the misdemeanor battery of the police officer.
Hill, who was seen wandering around the shirtless grounds of Los Angeles hotel that day, reportedly was charged with four felony charges, including being injured by a police officer and resisting the battery after the San Fernando Valley incident.
Star pleaded not guilty to the charges and then posted a $75,000 bail after spending the weekend in prison. He was released Monday after a Los Angeles judge ordered him to attend a rehabilitation meeting.
The rapper agreed to the terms.
The bewildered “Old Town” musician later went to social media and called the ordeal “F-King Terrifice.”
“But your girl is fine,” he reassured the fans.
